Beautifully remodeled and maintained. The property had beautiful flowers everywhere. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Best hotel of 4 we stayed at on our honeymoon. Definitely would return. Great place at a very good price.
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super clean rooms and very well maintained property. Friendly, friendly staff and the flowers and gardens are pleasing. This is an older motel with lots of character, but it is up to modern-day standards.
Jeffery, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is not a 5 star hotel. It is a small motel but it was immaculately clean and well maintained. The room was big enough but on the smaller side, and had a TV, fridge, coffee maker etc. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was not cramped. The staff was very friendly and check out was quick and easy. The only complaint is that parking was a little tight. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean and fresh room! Roomy bathroom. Gorgeous flowers all over the property! Highly recommend!
Vicki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room with comfy bed, lots of counter space for luggage and hooks for hanging items. Very clean bathroom, although on the small side, but an extra sink in the front bedroom area. A bit of a musty smell in the second bedroom but we didn’t use it so not an issue. The grounds are very well kept and so many beautiful flowers!

Sunset Motel – St. Ignace, Michigan This is my second time staying at the Sunset Motel, and it has quickly earned a special place on my favorites list. It’s an older, classic roadside motel, but what it lacks in modern flash, it more than makes up for in warmth, charm, and character. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with beautiful tongue-and-groove wood floors, walls, and ceilings that give the entire place a rustic, cabin-like feel. I absolutely adore this style—it feels like stepping back into a simpler, cozier time. Everything is well cared for, and the rooms are clean and welcoming. The grounds are absolutely lovely, with giant hanging flower baskets overflowing with color. There’s a sense of pride in the way everything is maintained—it feels personal, not corporate. The owners are some of the kindest and most helpful people you’ll meet. They truly care about their guests, and it shows in the little touches and friendly conversations. If you’re looking for a five-star luxury resort with gold faucets, room service, and a butler, this is not your place. But if you love rustic charm, comfy vibes, and genuine hospitality, you’ll be right at home here. It’s the perfect cozy spot to unwind after a day of exploring the beauty of St. Ignace and the surrounding area. I can’t recommend it enough. 🌸🏡✨

A lovely motel. Clean and tidy. The owners live on the property and our television broke in the evening. The owner took his own television and replaced ours so that we would not be inconvenienced. Extremely nice people!

Newly renovated large room. Comfortable, with attention to detail (plenty of plug ins, ambient lighting, large TV, love seat, tv trays), good restaurant/bar walking distance next door. Beautiful flowers and plants outside, quiet setting. Would definitely stay again. Very welcoming friendly owners on site.
